By 2020, nearly 50% of the U.S. workforce will consist of millennials (according to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics) -- that's the generation of people born between 1985-2000. And 25% of millennials expect to jump between six different companies during their careers. That's a drastic change to the way in which the careers of Baby Boomers played out. So how will this change the workforce?

How does this generation juggle all these jobs? We're calling it: The Hustle.
Sian-Pierre Regis, creator of swaggernewyork.com, an online culture and lifestyle blog, says: "The hustle is so very real right now for these millennials who know: 'listen, I can do anything.' Especially in the digital landscape."
